A massive cycling event will slow traffic in the Lake Mead area on Saturday morning.

Visitors should expect delays on park roads from 6 a.m. until 11 a.m. because of the RTC 2012 Viva Bike Vegas Gran Fondo Pinarello bicycle event.

As many as 2,000 cyclists will travel along Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson, where they will enter the park and turn onto Lakeshore Road. Cyclists will exit the park at U.S. Highway 93 and head toward Hoover Dam.

Construction has started on a new 100-acre park in Henderson.

Cornerstone Park will be near Stephanie Street and Wigwam Road. The new park will have several recreational features, including a 25-acre lake. There will also be picnic and pavilion areas that people will be able to reserve.

Volleyball courts and basketball courts will be built at the park. The park will feature paved and soft-surface trails that will connect to the City of Henderson trail system through the Union Pacific Railroad Trail and the Pittman Wash Trail.

The park is expected to be finished October 6. The project is expected to cost more than $16 million which is coming from the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act.

The lake at the center of the park will not be available for swimming or fishing. The lake is left over from gravel mining activities in the area and is fed by storm drainage and groundwater. 

The U.S. Olympic synchronized swimming pair will show off their Olympic routines during two exhibitions at Heritage Park Aquatic Complex in Henderson.

The first performance will feature Mary Killman and Mariya Koroleva’s technical routine. It will be at 3 p.m. Friday, July 13. The second performance will feature the pair’s free routine. It will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 14. This will be the duet’s last performance in the United States before heading to the Olympic Games in London.

The exhibition will be part of the U.S. Open Synchronized Swimming National Championships. Tickets for the performances are available at the door. They are $1 for children 2 to 17 years old and seniors, and $2 for adults. 

Killman and Koroleva will compete in London August 5 through 7 at London’s Olympic Park Aquatics Centre. The team has already won a silver medal in the 2011 Pan American Games.
